Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station expert Dr. A B Groves presented a survey of fruit spray fungicides at Senator Bigard s horticultural gathering. He described a shift from copper and sulfur toward organic and metallo organic compounds, noting advantages in selectivity and compatibility with new insecticides. He detailed carbamate type Fermate and Karbam as widely used early season fungicides for apples and discussed mercurial fungicides used for early season scab control and their storage and water quality challenges. He warned of a severe 1948 apple scab outbreak linked to timing and noted three primary infection periods in April and May.
